Nice tint. My next project on a car like yours would be to pint the handles / mirrors the same colour, i dunno why i think the black looks weird though.
Same price as a 4 door. I dunno where you live but here they charge by windows. So 5 windows (4 sides and rear) would cost like $200. You know those 2 small windows in the back of a coupe? Yeah well they count as full size windows because they have to use a sheet of tint to cut them. Sucks, but in the end it's still worth it :P

Probably around the same price. Mine was cheap for a 4D, other people in my area wanted 175-200. Just google window tint and email everyone in your area.
I'm from Pennsylvania by the way.

@bill- It's in Fayetteville. I emailed people all around and one company referred me to this guy who does it in his garage. I was skeptical but the end result was phenominal.
@kenny- i wish i could get new rims but i have to wait until i have to get new tires, so when these ones wear out. i want to get fog lights over the summer, and maybe call the local junkyard to see if they might have a good spoiler.

A tickets not that bad, if I got pulled over for tinted windows I would get a ticket and the officer would peel it off my windows.

The minimum ticket for tint is $109 and that includes an order to remove the tint and you must report to an RCMP detachment to show the tint has been removed, the maximum ticket is over $600 and thats usually issued on the second offence. The second ticket involves a vehicle inspection so your car better be in mint condition and they tow your car.
Giving you the option to remove your tint roadside is what nice cops do to save the offender some time and money.

I exaggerated a bit, officers don't actually peel the tint off your windows.

And you're wrong, California allows 70% fronts, and 5% rears
But if you do 5% rears, your fronts look really dark
It is a fix it ticket in California, If you prove to an officer that you've removed the tint, they will sign off on the ticket, and you'll only pay the $25 fee
If you decide not to remove the tint, the fine is $200 for the tint ticket
EDIT:
I just asked my neighbor, who is an Oakland PD officer
No AFTERMARKET tints are allowed on fronts, only factory tinted fronts are allowed, and 70% only

Yeah, it's the same law as if you drove around with a huge disco ball or dice on your rear view mirror
And also the same law if you mount your navigation on your windshield
Just a heads up for you guys, in CA, you can only mount your navigation on the top right, bottom right and bottom left 4" of your windshield
Sorry for threadjacking, but thought it'd be useful information
